Saturday

The Patriots fell in the conference tournament quarter finals Saturday to Grace Christian, who they defeated twice this season. The game was played in Rocky Mount.

Parrott could never get in any rhythm and was unable to knock down critical outside shots, but it was one of the strongest games the Patriots have had defensively all year.

It was the final basketball game for seniors Walt Killinger, Toby Finizio, John Luke Laroque and Caleb Quinn.

APA finished the season 7-14 overall and 6-9 in the Eastern Plain Independence Conference.
